referring physicians<br />
• Maintain comprehensive, accurate and timely medical records<br />
• Demonstrate they are reliable in carrying out orders from the attending<br />
physician<br />
Practice-Based Learning and Improvement<br />
• Demonstrate ability to use information technology and feedback to<br />
improve their fund <strong>of</strong> knowledge and skills and contribute to patient care<br />
Interpersonal Skills and Communication<br />
Patient Care<br />
• Communicate with patients and their families/caregivers in an easily<br />
understood and culturally sensitive manner including the use <strong>of</strong><br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional interpreters when needed<br />
• Maintain patient confidentiality<br />
• Communicate with other physicians, and health care providers<br />
• Maintain accurate and timely medical records
• Participate in planning and carrying out simulations for treatment planning<br />
• Learn about different types <strong>of</strong> immobilization (e.g., head masks) and<br />
setups for treatment<br />
• Participate in treatment verification & port films<br />
• Consider palliative vs. curative therapy Participate in planning and<br />
carrying out simulations<br />
• Participate in drawing accurate tumor volumes and tissue constraints<br />
• Perform initial history and physical examinations noting all pertinent<br />
findings and begin to formulate strategies for care and management<br />
• Monitor patients under treatment with the attending<br />
